At a glance…
Pure Substance or Mixture? Pure Substance: a substance that contains only one kind of matter; and has a fixed composition Mixture: substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together
Pure substances: Element or Compound Element: From the Periodic table, substances that are made of 1 type of atom and cannot be separated into simpler substances. Includes diatomic elements. Diatomic means two exact elements together like O2 Compound: more than one non diatomic element chemically combined in a fixed composition

Compound: fixed composition
A fixed composition? Law of definite proportions: Elements and compounds are made up of 2 or more elements combined together in definite ratios(proportions) Table salt will always contain 1 sodium atom to 1 chlorine atom NaCl has 1Na : 1Cl H2O2 has 2H : 2 O
Mixture….
Mixture: Heterogeneous or Homogeneous “Heterogeneous mixture” means seeing different kinds “Homogeneous mixture”: seeing one kind (solution)
Homogeneous Mixture Mix of two or more pure substances that mix together so well it looks like only one substance 1 Phase Example: kool-aid or the alloy steel
Heterogeneous Mixture A mixture containing two or more substances that are visible/separate Examples: Density column, soil, pile of dice
Types: Ordinary mechanical mixture Examples: pizza, salad, soil. Can identify various visible solid components. Easily separated Examples: pizza, salad, soil.
Heterogeneous Mixtures Suspension: a heterogeneous fluid containing solid particles that are sufficiently large for sedimentation. (Ex. Flour in water) Colloid: a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another one (Ex. Milk) Emulsion: a mixture of two or more immiscible (unblendable) liquids (Ex. Vinagrette
